Symptoms of heatstroke in dogs include mild heatstroke, drooling, panting, restlessness; moderate heatstroke: dyspnea, sluggish state; severe heatstroke: shock and coma. If a dog is found to be suffering from heatstroke, bathe with cold water, cover the body with a wet towel, and put an ice pack on the head to cool down. Be careful not to keep the water temperature too low, because too low water temperature will cause the surrounding blood vessels to contract violently, which will not achieve the effect of heat dissipation.

First aid for heatstroke in dogs:

1. Make the dog lie on its side in a ventilated place (please do not oppress the heart) and wipe the head, armpit or crotch with alcohol.

2. In severe cases, you can directly shower the dog with cold water (remind you not to use ice water, which will reduce the circulation speed of the skin and prolong the cooling time), or put the dog in a cold water tub to cool down , Let the dog's mouth and nose out of the water to breathe, so as not to choke on the water.

3. Heat stroke is prone to laryngeal edema. You should pay attention to the breathing situation and straighten the dog's neck at any time to make it breathe smoothly. Give the sick dog oral saline in time to prevent dehydration.

4. Pay attention to the sufficient cooling of the head, and raise the feet when resting to increase the blood supply to the brain. If the brain is burned, it will also become blind and deaf. While cooling down, you can gently massage the dog's whole body to help achieve the effect of cooling down, and if possible, you can inhale oxygen. Beat the heart area. It can be stopped when the body temperature drops to about 40 degrees.
